I was raised on water,I spent every summer on a boat fishing. It was fun because I got to do what I loved with the people I loved and I earned money for fishing,gutting and doing anything else that needed to be done.

In our country house we owned a couple of forests and a lake (this is the main country house btw, we have another one but we don't use it often)
Long story short I knew how to handle the lifestyle and I absolutely adored it.

I came home one day after school and was told to quickly put on some old clothes. I did as told I put on a pair of bleach jeans and a plain black t-shirt.
Diaga greeted me with the door wide open and told me me and Daniela could play.

I was now capable of communicating with Daniela as I was in Ireland 3 weeks and I was fluent in English (I'm honestly NOT giving dad or Neringa any credit for my quick learning all they done was pressure me)

Me and Daniela get on great except from the odd time we have our little moments. Daniela's mom had bought us ice cream and we were in her small back garden. It was very small with a tiny shed and a few pots with dead plants, it was completely made out of concrete but we didn't care we took out our chalk and started drawing on the ground.

At around 4 dad and Lauris had come back from fishing and brought back a large fish.

He decided to compare its size to me as I was scrawny it was easiest to compare me rather than Daniela. The fish was a head smaller than me and it was chunkier than I was,that didn't surprise me at all. Instead of cooking the fish in beer batter they decided to make fish cakes, as I said I was used to cooking fish as my family were fishermen, and fish cakes disappointed me as I honestly preferred fish not being mixed with anything else, besides beer batter of course.

The days dragged by and every night I put myself to sleep by closing my eyes and thinking of different ways my life can become better or that my godmother would come to Ireland and take me with her,but no,they were just my hopes & dreams.

Every few weeks we would go to a lake or river or the sea and fish until late.
It was honestly not the same. I never got to go out on a boat I would be lucky if I even got to hold the fishing rod, that was highly unlikely as my dad was a control freak (now you know who I get if from) and most importantly of all I was not with the people that shared the same passion shared fishing and water as their hobby with me. All dad really wanted was to be cooler and better than everyone else with his new equipment and his 'fishing skills'

Cue the eye roll

At this point me and Daniela were like sisters,we spent a lot of time together.
Of course it wasn't our choice or influence, it was all simply because my 'mature' guardians/parents (blood related more like total assholes that climbed out of my ass crack) because they wanted to get numb face pissed (don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with drinking but there's obviously limits and certain rules that apply to EVERYONE no matter how old they are)

Yeah... so anytime I would be with Daniela we would spend our time doing the usual girly things like dressing up, playing with dolls or role playing..

Role playing was always our favourite pastime but before we do that we would always pick out the names and appearances of our characters.

I stood there starring at her 7 princess poster knowing exactly who was my favourite and who I would be pretending to be.
Ariel
Of course. Only because I feel like I'm a lot like her but I always thought I had a bit of Cinderella in me too. So obviously they were. Ohh my 'go too' roles.

"I'm Ariel and Cinderella" I claim.
"I'm Aurora and umm.." Daniela thinks.
"Hey! That's not fair I want to be Ariel" she whines.

This always happens... copy cat..

"Yea but you always get the nice princesses can I be Ariel and you can be the rest?" I whisper with a glint of hope.
"Ugh fine"

Ariel.. the little mermaid...
"It would be so much easier if I just lived under the sea and became a mermaid" I whispered to myself... right before my eyes closed and I led myself into a deep sleep.

Heyo!
Ok so basically I have no internet atm and I have started a new book and I have written loads on this book also...
Gotta admit I'm proud for writing so much.. especially with a current event coming up
BOTS!!! The one and only band on the strand.
For those of you who have a life outside of Ireland. BOTS is a festival on the beach for teens. Yeah I'm soooo hyped up for it and I have no clue why I'm still writing as it on in two days and my room is still completely and utterly a mess.
Anyways I hope you enjoyed! ☺️
Until next time
